Miao Cuihua jumped up: "Xu Lao Er, what nonsense are you spouting? What have we been hiding from you? How have we schemed against you? You'd better explain yourself clearly today!"
Xu Yinlai sneered: "My own daughter, you didn't even say hello before severing ties with her on your own initiative! That's fine, but when I sent someone back to ask what happened, you spread the word that my husband and I saw Siya eloping with a black element in the county town and that we beat him up!"
"Furthermore, this job clearly fell through, why didn't you tell us? Why did you just let us run into walls and laugh at us? All these years, I, Xu Yinlai, have sent back money every month, along with those rare items that my family doesn't have, and this is how you treat me?"
Speaking of this, Miao Cuihua felt a little guilty, as it was indeed something she and Xu Zhenzhu had discussed and planned.
She spread that rumor herself! At that time, all she wanted was to ruin that bitch Siya and make her never be able to hold her head up again.
Who would have thought that there would be work involved later?
However, Xu Jinlai and Xu Baolai were completely captivated by the last few sentences: "What? What do you mean the job is clearly off?"
Xu Yewen snorted coldly, repeated Xu Ningyan's words, and then said, "Uncle and Third Uncle, you're in the brigade, how could you not know? What are you pretending to be innocent for now?"
Xu Jinlai and Xu Baolai were wrongfully killed; the more I think about it, the more something seems amiss.
Xu Jinlai made a quick decision: "I'll go find the captain now and ask him clearly! This news came from his house!"
After saying that, he walked outside.
Xu Baolai reassured Xu Yinlai's family: "There might be a misunderstanding here! Second brother, we really didn't know the job was canceled!"
Xu Yinlai wasn't buying it: "You don't know about work, but what about what happened before? Don't you know either?"
Xu Baolai guiltily looked away: "Well, it's just that Mom thought she couldn't let Siya get too cocky, so she wanted to keep her in check. She didn't even realize Siya had this kind of luck—"
Miao Cuihua, who was used to being domineering and controlling her sons and daughters-in-law, couldn't stand this attitude.
"You got upset with that brat, and now you're taking it out on your mother and your brother? Whose fault is it? It's your own fault for giving birth to this jinx! I haven't even settled accounts with you, and you're already criticizing me? You heartless bastard, you unfilial son! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Xu Yinlai remained silent, his face ashen.
Seeing that things were going badly, Shen Yue'e burst into tears: "I can't live like this anymore! Is there no justice in the world?! I knew it! Our family has been in your way! Our husband is the most filial son ever! Every month when he gets his salary, he thinks about sending it home first! He hasn't missed a single month in all these years, has he? We've provided our sister-in-law with all the food, clothing, and drink we need. We've been so good to you all these years, and this is how you repay our husband!"
“You ruined our family’s stable jobs in the county, and we can’t even complain! We have no place in this family anymore! Yewen, Yewu, just accept your fate! Who told you to be pitiful, with no love from your parents! We’ve lost all dignity in this family too—”
Miao Cuihua was furious when she saw Shen Yue'e trying to sow discord between mother and son right in front of her.
He rushed over, cursing "bitch" as he tried to scratch Chen Yue'e's face, but was stopped by Xu Yewen and his brother.
Miao Cuihua didn't care about her two grandsons at all. If she couldn't scratch her daughter-in-law, scratching them would be the same.
Before long, the Xu brothers' faces were covered in scratches.
Xu Yewu had a bad temper to begin with, and in his pain, he became anxious and threw Miao Cuihua away. She landed on her bottom and couldn't get up for a long time, only crying out in pain.
When the bystanders realized things had gone wrong, they rushed to help Miao Cuihua, while others tried to stop the Xu brothers, creating complete chaos.
This is what Xu Jinlai saw when he returned from the brigade leader's house.
After finally managing to appease both sides, everyone remembered to ask Xu Jinlai if his job was really off.
Xu Jinlai nodded sadly.
Recalling the way the brigade leader looked at him with disdain, and those words he spoke, all of which were rumors spread by the Xu family, Xu Ningyan lost his job!
You wouldn't believe how good that job was; if it went well, the whole brigade would benefit.
Now it's gone, but everyone is too busy with farming to know yet! Once everyone finishes farming and finds out that the whole brigade could have benefited, it was all ruined by the Xu family. I'm afraid the Xu family will have a hard time from now on.
He sighed and relayed the captain's words.
He also felt a little regretful!
If he had known that Siya would have such luck, he shouldn't have suggested separating the family and severing ties in the first place.
Then I recalled the captain's meaningful words: "You have ruined your own good fortune, so you can't blame anyone else!"
My mind was a jumbled mess, and I couldn't help but think a little more: Could it be that the one who is truly blessed in this family is Siya, not Pearl?
However, he didn't have time to think too much about it, as he learned the accurate information.
Xu Yinlai and his family were about to leave in a huff.
Before leaving, he said that they had lost all the jobs they had been cheated out of, Xu Yewen still needed to get married, and Xu Yewu still needed to find him a job. He also said that they would not have any extra money to send back in the future!
And Xu Zhenzhu, they can't afford to support her anymore. If there's anything that needs money in the future, they'll ask the eldest and third wives. The second wife won't be the one to take the fall.
After saying these words, Xu Yinlai led his family away in a roar.
The Xu family was left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Only Miao Cuihua slapped her thigh and cursed Xu Yinlai's family as ungrateful wretches, heartless, and disobedient! Siya was just like them; not a single good person in the whole family…
After cursing a couple of times, he turned around and cursed Xu Ningyan, saying that she was weak-willed, couldn't stand men, and couldn't hold back after hearing a few gossips.
She willingly degraded herself to marry a member of the "Five Black Categories".
She also accused Xu Ningyan of harboring malicious intentions, implying that she had known all along that her job was off but deliberately kept quiet.
They only spoke out after the whole brigade knew about it.
It was intentional, a deliberate attempt to harm their entire family and offend the whole brigade. Their scheming was utterly vicious! They showed absolutely no regard for blood ties…
The more the Xu family members from the eldest and second branches listened, the more they realized it made sense.
Everyone felt that Xu Ningyan was too cruel; she was trying to make the Xu family lose face in the Tuanjie Brigade!
Before, when the Xu family left, they had the second son's family in the city, as well as Pearl, a high school student. Who wouldn't envy them and look up to them?
After this incident, people will probably spit on the Xu family whenever they are mentioned in the future.
For a moment, the people from the first and third branches of the family gritted their teeth, wishing they could devour Xu Ningyan alive.
Unfortunately, they also knew that Xu Ningyan was no longer someone they could control, so they could only endure it for the time being.
After Miao Cuihua gave Xu Ningyan a good scolding, she said, "It's fortunate that we still have Pearl! As long as Pearl can establish a relationship with that Lu Kai, we have nothing to fear!"
"That Lu Kai is some kind of engineer at the county machinery factory, and I've even heard he's an official! With this son-in-law, even Xu Zhiguo and Xu Zhihua would have to curry favor with our family! Hmph, just you wait and see—"
